Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a BMW i3 take?

The BMW i3 I01 (2013-2021) takes a 28 inch (700mm) driver blade and a 21 inch (525mm) passenger blade. The driver blade is notably long for a small car, so it is important to fit the 28 inch (700mm) blade on the correct side.

Does the BMW i3 have a rear wiper?

Yes, the BMW i3 is fitted with a rear wiper. The rear blade is 12 inches (300mm) and is sold separately from the front pair, and owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.

What wiper connector does the BMW i3 use?

The product page for the i3 does not name a connector type, and the front blades are supplied to suit the i3 wiper arms. Owners unsure of the fitting can compare the end of their wiper arm with the product images before ordering.

Is the BMW i3 driver wiper blade longer than the passenger blade?

Yes, the i3 takes a 28 inch (700mm) blade on the driver side and a 21 inch (525mm) blade on the passenger side, a difference of 7 inches (175mm). The blades are not interchangeable between sides, so each should be fitted to its matching arm.

How often should I replace BMW i3 wiper blades?

BMW i3 wiper blades should generally be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if they streak, smear or chatter. Electric cars run quietly, so wiper chatter or squeaking is often easier to hear and can be an early sign the blades are wearing.
